Fees and Funding

Fees are a key factor when deciding to undertake your degree. When comparing fees across different programmes, most importantly you should find out what the tuition fees include, how you can pay and whether there are any 'hidden costs'. The fees for this programme include all of the following:

Registration

Tuition and assessment

Your Learning Zone portal

Use of the online Ashridge Library

Access to Virtual Ashridge study resources

Membership of the Alumni Association

You may have the option to either pay for the Ashridge Masters in Management in full at the beginning of study or in stages spreading the cost over up to two years.

Please note that scholarships are not available for this programme due to the flexible payment methods available.

Funding option 2

Loan options for UK residents

Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans which you may consider applying for. They can be used to help pay the cost of work-related learning opportunities. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning, or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work.

The Young People’s Learning Agency pays the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards.

The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of financial support such as grants or bursaries.

It is important to bear in mind that the Professional and Career Development Loan scheme is a commercial loan product and should only be considered as an option after all other student funding options have been fully investigated.

Funding option 3

Salary Sacrifice Scheme

In some circumstances your employer may agree to allow you to pay for your studies through a ‘Salary Sacrifice’ scheme. Here you establish an agreement with your employer whereby they agree to pay your tuition fees in their entirety to the business school and then you agree to pay all or part of your fees back to your employer through a deduction from your salary before tax each month.

Advantages

Salary Sacrifice can help UK employees who want to undertake a period of work-related study but where corporate sponsorship is not available to reduce the net cost of the chosen programme of study.

UK employees, investing in a personal development programme at Ashridge could make savings on Income Tax and National Insurance contributions. Organisations in the UK may also make savings by not being liable for National Insurance on the portion of the salary that is sacrificed for the training course or studies.

Find out more

Speak to your employer to find out whether they offer or would be willing to discuss the Salary Sacrifice Scheme with you.

If they agree to offer you this opportunity then you will need to set out an agreement for payment and timescales indicating how you will pay back your part of the agreement.

We recommend that you speak to a professional tax and benefits specialist to ensure you are fully aware of the tax and pension implications of this scheme. For more information please visit www.hmrc.gov.uk
